Q

Which Vermont law created the first U.S. data broker registration requirement?

A

Act 171 of 2018 (An act relating to data brokers and consumer protection), codified at 9 V.S.A. Chapter 62, which requires data brokers that collect and sell the personal information of Vermont residents to register annually and maintain minimum data-security standards — the first data broker registry law in the United States.

WHY LAWSTRONAUT

Why Lawstronaut for Vermont legal research

Vermont legal information is spread across the state legislature and the Vermont Statutes Annotated, agency regulatory materials, and the courts. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.

Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.

About Vermont legal coverage

Vermont is a US common-law jurisdiction with a codified body of statutes. Primary legislation is enacted by the Vermont General Assembly — the bicameral state legislature of House and Senate — and published as session acts and the Vermont Statutes Annotated (V.S.A.) on legislature.vermont.gov. Regulatory materials come from state bodies such as the Secretary of State and the Board of Pharmacy. Case law comes from the Supreme Court of Vermont, the state's appellate court, and the Vermont Superior Court, captured from the Vermont Judiciary (vtcourts.gov) and a case-law aggregator (Court Listener) where available. Records are published in English.

Vermont law keeps moving: the General Assembly passes session acts and amends the V.S.A. each biennium — Vermont was the first US state to require data brokers to register, under Act 171 of 2018 — and the courts publish new opinions on a rolling basis. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Vermont legal research answer correct today.
